Sausage Pancake Bites

Sausage Pancake Bites

David Venable

Prep Time: 10–15 minutes

Serves: 24

Ingredients

  • ½ lb breakfast sausage, cooked and cut into 24 pieces
  • 2-1/4 cup pancake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1-1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F

In a medium bowl, mix the pancake mix, water, milk, butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt to make the batter. Set aside.

Lightly coat a 24 mini-muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Add about 1 tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup, then add a piece of sausage, and top with another scant tablespoon.

Bake for 8–12 minutes. While they are baking, make the dipping sauce. Add the maple syrup, butter, and cream in a small saucepot. Heat just long enough to melt the butter and stir to make sure it’s all mixed.

Let cool for at least 5 minutes before removing. You may have to gently run a knife or small spatula around the edge if they're stuck at all, to pop them out.

Serve with the maple butter sauce and powdered sugar (optional).

Cook's Notes

The batter may seem a little loose when you first mix it, so let it sit for 15–20 minutes while it thickens up a bit. This will make for a lighter, fluffier pancake!
